tribute to the late Henry Ward Beecher,

greatest preacher that ever lived We
who bowed with him in prayer know with
what might of humility, penitence, faith
and love he stormed the Kingdom of

err was more prepared to face a
loss, an infamy, or d desertion. | never
heard him say an unkind word of an
enemy. When Mr.. Beecher left my house
he put his arm around my neck, kissed me
and said: Goodbye, old fellow love
YOU These were the last words | heard
from Mr.. Beecher's lips. My house was
larger and brighter because Mr. Beecher
tarried there. Mr.. Beecher and his
wife used to call themselves two old folks

Striking Italians Make It Lively for NIassa-

WARE, Mass, Feb. ia warrant was
issued last night for the arrest of Salvador
PignalOsa, one Of the striking Italian rail-
road labOrers who marched to this village
yesterday and compelled other Italians TO
stop work and join them. To-day the
authorities were on their way to the Italian
quarters to serve the warrant when they
met the full force of the strikers, headed
by PignalOsa, marching under an Italian
flag, and armed with clubs, revolvers and
guns. The officers rushed at Pignalosa and
were fred upon by two Italians. Deputy
Sheriff Henry o. Caryl and Police
Officer Loranas Fisherdeck returned
the fire, and the Italians fed in all
directions, leaving one of the men,
Mickilel Lavoro, badly wounded on the
street. He was removed to the town.

stables were sworn in and the country was

a general strike of Italians all along the
line of the road from Ware to Northampton.
1t is also feared that when the news of the
shooting of LavOro spreads to the other
camps the men will seek revenge and the
authorities are taking steps to prevent an

THE MINT.

The Director OF the Mint Enters His Fro.
test Against Reductions Made BY the
House Appropriateness Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A communication
from the Direcfhr of the Mint was yester-
day transmitt& to the House protesting
against reductions made in the estimates
for the mint service by the Appropriations
Committee. OF the failure Of the committee
to provide for the operation of the Carson
City mint as an assay Office, the director,
having expressed his views to the commit
tee on the subject, has nothing to say, but
with reference to all other Elints he de-
clares that the estimates were made for
the smallest appropriations consistent with
their business in each, without reduction
Of salaries, which, he says, it 10
we'll known are not such as can be rea-
sonably made, especially under the cir
cumstances that they are for services with
out exception more or less of an expert
character, and are at the lowest point con-
sistent with skill accuracy and fidelity in q
work where these are indispensable requis-
ties. The Director takes up cases Of
insufficient appropriations in detail, be-
ginning with the mint at Denver, Col.
Here, he states, only one-third Of
the amount estimated as absolutely
requisite for the operation OF the mint on
its present basis has been made, while
there is every reason to suppose that the
deposits will be largely in excess during
the next year as compared with those in
previous years. Concerning the assay Office
at Boise City, the Director points to the
fact that its business has more than
doubled during the past year, and says that
the appropriations made by the committee
will be inadequate for the support Of the
assay office without closing it to depositors
toward the close of the fiscal year. In the
case Of the assay Office at Helena, attention
is called Ito the fact that the deposits
have increased from $757,OOO to LIS, 600
during the past two years, and that the
committee has reduced the appropriation
for its support, in the face of recommend
ton for an increase Of compensation to
employees. The item for wages of wOrkmen
at the New York assay office was reduced
by 5000. The Director says that no such
reduction can be made without impairing
the efficiency of the office in very impor-
tant field of work, where, indie ed, it would
be more extensively and seriously felt than
in anv other branch of the service.

Breeding Paupers.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE first official act
of Mayor Hewitt to attract general atten.
ton was his veto Of an ordinance permit
ting Mrs. Clementine LaMadrid to erect
booths at certain street corners from which
to supply food at the cost of one cent per
article. Hewitt declares that in his
opinion the tendency of the proposed plan
for furnishing cheap meals would be tc
demOralize the poor. Though he is in.
formed that there are about 1900 per-
sons in the city who have no regular homes
and who depend upon chance ortheir daily
bread, public policy requires that the mum.
Der Of such persons should, if possible. be
diminished and not increased. Such agen-
cies as free soup kitchens and cheap food
booths would, in his opinion, increase idle
ness and poverty. He is also informed that
the charitable organizations of this city are
sufficient for the existing distress.

DYNAMITERS ARRESTED.

Two Men Arrested in San Francisco
Charged With the Late Dynamite Out
RACES.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE police yes
terday arrested j. E. Stiles and H. c. Dean
as the perpetrators of the recent dynamite
outrages on the Suffer and Geary street
cable lines. The former was captured
early yesterday morning while on his way
to put dynamite on q track. The police had
spotted hun and were shadowing his house
when he emerged at 4:30 yesterday MORN
ing, and was closely followed by four
detectives, who ordered him to stop. Ten
shots were fired after him, but none struck
him. He was finally captured by running
into the arms Of a policeman from the Oppo-
site direction. While fleeing Stiles was
seen to throw something over fence into
the garden of residence. This was
recovered and proved to be a dynamite
bomb ready to be placed on a car
track. A quantity Of dynamite and caps
were also found on his person, and materials
for making bombs were later found in his
house. Dean was suspected by the police,
and Immediately after Stiles arrest search
was made in Deans house and quantity
of dynamite and other bomb material found.
He was arrested. Stiles claims he had no
intention of placing dynamite on the track,
but had left the house of friend, Williams,
whom he had agreed to accompany and as.
sist He added that it was his intention to
obtain sufficient evidence against Williams
to convict him of the crime and then expose
him to the authorities and gain the reward
offered for the apprehension Of the dyna-
miters. The police, however, place no faith
in Stiles story. Dean denies all knowledge
of dynamite plots, and processes utter ig-
norance regarding how the bomb material
found in his house got there. Both are
striking car men.
